Photographer Martin
Wilson, upon receiving his first camera at age 8, was given sage and ultimately
prophetic advice by his father, “make every picture count.” Wilson has been
following his advice ever since. His work is created frame by frame on 35mm film,
a painstaking process whereby every frame from the roll is on display and every
image has been shot in sequence. The film is developed, scanned, and then
pieced together digitally to make a large contact sheet. Ultimately the contact
sheet becomes the final piece of artwork. He does not post process the film or
digitally manipulate the images beyond arranging them side by side. He calls
the works “records of real journeys, the visual remnants of hours walking or
cycling round town, bringing to life unheard of voices of the city.” Martin
Wilson is currently on exhibit at the London Tap Gallery in
Altrincham, Cheshire.
